A sound like air escaping slipped from Hyunjong's lips.
Yet, his gaze never left the arena for even a moment.
His eyes, which had been fixed on the fallen Lee Songbaek, slowly shifted towards Cheongmyeong.
Gu Yeonseung.
Having achieved nine victories, Cheongmyeong was now waiting for his final opponent.
The place where the elders and the top disciples had gathered was filled with a suffocating silence.
No one dared to break this atmosphere by speaking first.
Questions about Cheongmyeong? Doubts about the situation? Such things mattered little.
What was important now was the fact that Cheongmyeong was on the verge of achieving a flawless victory against Jongnam.
"Has there ever been such an event in the history of the Volcano?" The Volcano and Jongnam had always been wary of each other.
Setting aside the pride of being the sect leader, when looking at the history of these two sects objectively, the Volcano had often been one step ahead of Jongnam.
Of course, the tides had turned now, but this was an undeniable fact when viewed through history.
However, an official incident where the Volcano completely crushed Jongnam, as was happening today, had never occurred in his knowledge.
